Henry Blodget was a notorious Internet analyst for Merrill Lunch who famously predicted that Amazon.com's stock would hit $400. In 2004 he was charged with securities fraud by the SEC, for his roll in recommending certain stocks, and was banned from trading for life. More recently however, he has reinvented himself as a commentator for [...]
From Brazil, here's a very creative marketing promotion. Wallets containing advertising were scattered around the city for passersby to pick up. Inside was an ad for a local financial newspaper.
I love this idea. It's tactile, engaging (you know someone will pick it up) and unique. I think this it could be used to great effect [...]

So, whether it’s putting [...]
My take on Tribune Media’s buyout of ForSaleByOwner.com – this is a desperate yet essential bid to shore up their revenue streams in the face of the Internet threat. It’s going to have big impact throughout the industry however.
To understand their motivations, you only have to look at how the Internet impacted another side of [...]
Last month, Google released Sketchup, but I hadn’t had a chance to sit down and play with it until this weekend. Sketchup is a CAD-like 3D drawing tool that anyone can use to quickly churn out 3D models.

Great post over at Realblogging today by Richard Nacht where he asks the right question in response to a new report from NAR on Realtors and their use of the Internet. Richard asks, "Where are da blogs?"
